FACT CHECK
DigitEYE India decided to investigate this claim and found it to be false. Reports claim that Leonid Radvinsky, the owner and CEO of OnlyFans, passed away on March 23, 2026, at the age of 43 due to cancer. However, there are no verified sources or credible evidence indicating that Dubai declared a 40-day mourning period in his honor.
We first conducted a web search with the phrase “Leonid Radvinsky, OnlyFans CEO is dead” to learn more. Several reports including one published by Reuters on March 23, 2026 confirmed this. The report mentions that “Leonid Radvinsky…has died at 43 from cancer, the company said on Monday.”
BBC and other news outlets reported identically within hours, mentioning how he purchased OnlyFans in 2018. The report has mentioned the complan’s statement that he “passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer,” However, there are no mentions of Dubai announcing 40 days of mourning over his death.
Emirates News Agency homepage and latest dispatches contain no mention of Radvinsky, OnlyFans, or any new national mourning period. Recent WAM headlines cover a wide range of subjects including UAE and Indonesian cooperation, UAE and Serbia’s bilateral relations and UAE President’s visit to Hamad Saeed Al Balushi among others. View a screenshot of this below –
Next, web searches for “Dubai 40 days mourning OnlyFans,” or “UAE mourning Radvinsky,” did not yield any verified results. There were no statements from the Dubai Government, PM Sheikh Mohammed Office or any official newspaper. There is no available footage in Dubai that shows flags at half-mast, official decrees or mourning banners over Radvinsky’s death.
Thus, the claim is totally false.
